When is coldplug_interface_* actually being called?
On boot, by /etc/init.d/network.
If an interface is found with .auto != 0 and a protocol that implements
coldplug_*, then it is called.
This is required for "virtual" interfaces like 6in4 tunnels that create their
own (tuntap) ifaces and have no physical interface like eth0 associated.
I'm having a problem with setup_interface_*. Basically my
setup_interface_* creates a new tun
device. When this device is created an hotplug event is generated. This
hotplug event is
handle also by the net/10-net script which calls again the
setup_interface_* method.
I cannot move the code that creates the device to the coldplug_* method
because in this
way if auto is set to false i cannot use the command "ifup mesh" to
start the protocol.
I could had a check in my setup_interface_* code to check if the
interface is already
available but this looks ugly to me: a method that is supposed to create
the interface
should not be called again when the interface i created.
